Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.
The floor is 11 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“If you already use an advanced EDR/XDR platform for antivirus, they often have built-in vulnerability modules.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Vuln management · scale prompt · alternative
“If your organization uses CrowdStrike Falcon for EDR/EPP, Spotlight is an incredibly powerful add-on.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Vuln management · direct prompt · alternative
“A strong contender if you are already using CrowdStrike for endpoint protection.” MiniMax M2.5 · Vuln management · scale prompt · alternative
“Best for CrowdStrike Customers: CrowdStrike Falcon Spotlight” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Vuln management · paraphrase prompt · alternative
And against it
Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.
